Joint Replacement

Your joints link your bones together and let you bend and rotate. As you age, joints begin to wear out and cause pain. If physical therapy, medications and other conservative measures haven’t brought lasting relief, joint replacement surgery at Tidelands Health can help you return to the life you love.

Hip, Knee and Shoulder Procedures

Experienced surgeons at Tidelands Waccamaw Community Hospital and Tidelands Georgetown Memorial Hospital will exchange your damaged hip, knee or shoulder for a long-lasting artificial joint that will ease your pain. Take advantage of procedures such as:

Total hip replacement, including anterior hip replacement, an approach that cuts no muscles, lessens your discomfort and speeds your recovery

Total and partial knee replacement, including a minimally invasive technique that reduces pain and rehabilitation time

Shoulder replacement, which uses a joint designed to last the rest of your life
